So last night we had a mini-lab outing to a local bowling alley.
It was a lot of fun. Now granted, I hadn’t bowled in who knows how m any years, but I did rather well for myself. My biggest problem was open frames, I’d knock down 9 pins on the first roll, but wouldn’t be able to seal the deal on the second roll.
Then one of my co-workers doesn’t bowl, he (a big guy) just chucks the ball down the lane–we were suprised that the lane didn’t crack from the “thuds”.
And also last night we learned that apparently the Greeks didn’t invent bowling–based on their performance.
When I got home at 2am, for some strange reason I’d had the biggest urge to watch the Big Lebowski…wonder why?
From the NYT: Putting for the Fences
Apparently there’s such a thing as professional putt putt? I can’t believe such a thing exists.
Now for some nostalgia, I used to love going to Putt-Putt (the name brand place, not generic “mini-golf”). There used to be one out at Southgate USA in Maple Heights that I used to go play at in the summer. Alas, the course is sadly no longer there.
I remember vividly that there was also a special, on either tuesdays or wed where it was all the Putt-Putt you could play for a flat fee, plus a slice of pizza and a soda for some really low price. So I’d go out there with a friend and we’d play the 3 courses over and over all day long. Granted, this was many, many years ago. Oh, but how much fun it used to be.
Got any Putt Putt memories of you own?
